Chapters 9, 10 and 11 Summary and Analysis

One day in June of 1974, Ann is in Herb Swindler's office when Joni Lenz and her father arrive in the hopes that Joni may be able to identify some of the recently abducted girls by looking at some photographs. Unfortunately Joni is not able to identify any of the girls and apologizes because much of her memory has disappeared due to her vicious attack.

It is at this point that stories of the abductions have been released in the media and terror overtakes the Northwest U.S., especially among young college women who now take extra safety precautions especially at night. Ann is invited to attend a law enforcement task force so that relevant authorities can pool resources in order to find the attacker who is still at large.
